News and notes from around the interweb:
- JohnnyJet visited Amanyara and Amangani. I’ve never taken a comped hotel stay, but I’ve never been offered one by an Aman resort, either.
- DOT, Commerce Department, and State Department will set up a website to hear US airlines’ hypocritical argument that the big Gulf carriers are too subsidized and shouldn’t be granted access to US markets. Because the US government should be taking steps to increase airfares, limit schedules, and depress service.
The docket numbers, if you want to file anything at Regulation.gov, are:
- DOT-OST-2015-0082 (DOT)
- DOS-2015-0016 (State)
- DOC-2015-0001 (Commerce)
- DOT-OST-2015-0082 (DOT)
- Scoot, the low cost carrier owned by Singapore Airlines, is trolling Spirit Airlines for stealing their corporate branding.
- What it’s like to visit New York using a 1990s guide book. (HT: Marginal Revolution)
- If you haven’t already combined your American and US Airways frequent flyer accounts, you can do so online. But One Mile at a Time points out a reason that some won’t want to (yet): there’s a sale on American miles through April 30th that’s the cheapest I’ve seen from AAdvantage. With two accounts you basically can buy twice the usual cap of miles before combining. I’m not buying miles, but there are some who will want to.
how do you dare calling yourself a “thought leader” when all you do is reiterate news from other sources?!?! It’s a joke and you make a complete fool out of yourself!
Not sure what your point is Aj. Of course Gary passes on items he comes across that might be of interest to his readers. What’s wrong with that? I can’t possibly track all the sources he does. He also regularly offers his own content and opinions.
“thought LEADER” – is any post at all on this page leading?! or is it all a warm copy/ credit card advertising etc,..? I really used to like this side, but this title is presumptuous.
FYI that Amman article is not written by Johnny Jet unless he’s changed gender
